Those are the two points I thought of as well Jeff - and had the same thoughts as you regarding your second option (the whole ending on a down note a la ESB).

I think Jeff nailed it.  Both are logical places to split.  I could see either of them being used.

IGN has a few new pics up from Half Blood Prince, hopefully a trailer will be released before too long (I'm thinking maybe with Dark Knight).

Bad. Ass.

This will be the first one I've read before seeing the film, and I loved the book, so I'm really looking forward to it.

Sweet.  Great teaser.  I noticed a little Gandalf in our favorite headmaster.

I'll echo the "cool" comments.  Seems to convey exactly what the movie is about without giving away too much about horcruxes and volemort/riddle... not to mention the whole half-blood prince part of the book.  Looks good!  :)

I have to say, Dumbledore really lets his hair go in five to seven years.  In the Riddle at the orphangan scene he has shoulder lenght dark hair with a small beard, but in the Chamber of Secrets flashback, both hair and beard are long and grey.  I think the young Riddle is supposed to be about eight (maybe five at the youngest) and around 15 or 16 during the flashback, so maybe 10 years max.

I'd would love to do a freeze frame on the bottles of memories to see if we could read all the labels.  Seems they are doing the Pensieve a bit differently than before.  I really wished they would have used it in OoTP per the book instead of Harry breaking through Snapes defenses.

Not sure if anyone has seen this, but that is alot of money.

Amazon buys Tales of Beedle Bard

I think JKR will eventually release this book in the same manner as the Beast and Quiddich books at some point.  She did retain publishing rights to the material.

Flash-forward 4 months and we have the announcement...  a new edition of The Tales of Beedle the Bard will be available in December.  Not something I will run out and buy the day it comes out, but I'm sure we'll pick it up eventually...  might make for good bedtime stories for the kids!  :P

I heard that today.  I'm happy, I'll pick up that book and read it.  I figured it would only be a matter of time.  The fans are still so hungry for new printed material that it would be a huge disservice to them if she wrote those stories and didn't make them available for everyone.

Still, the limited edition books were incredible.

I'm almost certain that's how it did happen in the book....Harry witnessed Snape's memory during an occlemancy lesson.
This sticker is dangerous and inconvenient, but I do love Fig Newtons.

You are right. But it isn't till end of the series that he understands why Snape acts the way he does towards Harry. (Trying not to give anything away to those who haven't read Deathly Hollows.)
